## Summary

Rootly data shows developers are getting paged roughly twice as often outside working hours compared with a year ago. Gergely Orosz says the likely cause is about twice the PR frequency, driven by more AI-generated or AI-written code being pushed.

One interesting data point from @rootlyhq is how devs are getting paged ~2x as much outside working hours vs a year ago.

The reason? 

Most likely ~2x PR frequency, thanks to a lot more PRs and code pushed that are AI-generated / written
